Maintenance 

Regular maintenance will ensure the continuous operation reliability 
of the device. 

6.1  What you have to observe 

This Section describes action to be taken by you as the fitter regularly 
to ensure the troublefree use of the machine/unit. 
• 

Maintenance work may only be performed by qualified mainte-
nance staff (machine/unit fitters). 

• 

Repair work on the machine/unit or components may only be 
performed by appropriately qualified expert staff or UNIFLEX ex-
perts! 

• 

The machine/unit must always be deactivated during mainte-
nance work (see "Deactivation" in Section 5). Use the lock to 
prevent the main switch from being switched on and also attach 
a sign. Example text: 

 

Machine/unit out of service for 

maintenance work! 

Do not switch on! 

• 

Welding, flame-cutting and grinding work on and in the ma-
chine/unit and its environment must be approved in advance. 
There is a risk of fire. The machine/unit must be cleaned from 
dust and inflammable substances. Adequate ventilation must be 
ensured. 

6.2  Maintenance schedule 

If not specified otherwise, inspections listed in the maintenance 
schedule are visual inspection. Replace defective parts. 

If you work in 2 shifts, the check frequency has to be doubled. If you 
work in 3 shifts, you proceed as with 2-shift operation. 

Record maintenance work performed in the maintenance log.
